17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting painting captures a moment in time, as young Charles Darwin (aged six) is seen sharing a tender moment with his older sister Catherine, in their family home at Downe, Kent. The photograph, titled "Charles Darwin (aged six) and Catherine," was skillfully painted by the artist Sharples around the year 1816. This heartwarming image offers a rare glimpse into the childhood of one of history's most influential figures. Charles Darwin (1809-1882) is renowned for his groundbreaking work in the field of science, specifically in the areas of evolution and natural selection. His seminal book, "On the Origin of Species," published in 1859, forever changed the way we understand the natural world. However, before he became a pioneering scientist, Darwin was a curious and playful child. The setting of this painting, Downe House, holds significant historical importance as it was the family home where Darwin spent much of his childhood. The house, located in Downe, Kent, is now preserved by the Darwin Heirlooms Trust and is open to the public as a museum dedicated to the life and work of Charles Darwin. This painting, a cherished heirloom, offers a unique insight into the early life of a man who would go on to revolutionize our understanding of the natural world. The bond between Charles and Catherine is palpable, and the innocence and warmth of the scene serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the formative experiences of childhood.
